The document discusses a cloud-based forest fire alert system that utilizes IoT technology to detect early signs of forest fires, thereby helping to prevent environmental damage and protect wildlife. It highlights the importance of timely fire detection due to the exponential spread of fire and its devastating effects on ecosystems and human life. The proposed system incorporates various sensors including temperature and smoke sensors, connected to an Arduino platform, with data stored in the cloud for real-time monitoring by authorities.

ABSTRACT
The most common hazard in forest fire Accident are themselves destroy the
forest and great threat for wildlife and peoples. The number of trees has
reduced drastically so the forest are creates an unhealthy environment for
animals to survive in the forest. Forest covers 31% of the world and 21% of
the India. It has found in a survey that 80% of losses are caused due to fire.
This project of a system fire was detected early stages. It was tracking and
alarming for protection of trees against forest fire. Now IOT (Internet of
things) devices and cloud based to forest fire alerting system.Ifcloudcanused
to storing the information of data to monitoring the different environmental
variables such as temperature, smoke, moisture of the forest. So finally to
prevent the fire to spread over a huge area and precaution the forest.

I. INRODUCTION
Forest firedetection become one suchissue.Duetoforestfire
has caused serious environmental Problemsanddevastation
of flora fauna. The current turbulent global economic,
demographic, social and ecologic context, government, local
administrative authorities and commercial companies or
individuals have the importance resources contained in
forest environment. Forest ecosystems are dynamic and
complicated. Disturbance to any part of network affect the
balance of relationship and equally complete scheme either
absolutely ornegativity.soglobalclimatechange,droughtand
different conditions have caused occurrence of wildfire to
extend, once wildfireoccur ittakesyearstonaturallyrecover.
Forest fire is an uncontrolled fire occurring in nature and
man-made. Once fire starts ignited it rapidly spreads all over
area in the forest. The land were forest is burnt it became
impossible to grow vegetation over there.Thisisbecausesoil
becomes water repelledand accepts no more water. Leading
to reduction of ground water level. Fire causes huge loss of
lives and properties every year. The national crime records
Bureau indicatesthattherehavebeenof113972fatalitiesdue
to fire accidents of the year 2010 to 2014.one of the most
destructive properties of fire is that it spreads exponentially
and with the right medium can spread uncontrollably.Thisis
why timely detection of fire of fire is necessary foravoiding a
fire hazard. The internet of things is a collection of sensor,
actuators, software,embeddedwith electronics,connecteach
other with cloud. It is an also economic benefits. IOT make
everyday life easier forhumans by developingsmartdevices.
If increased IOT devices 31% at 8.4 billion in the year 2017.
IOTinvolvesconnectingobjects beyondtherangeofstandard
device which are used for every day purpose. The Arduino
UNO at mega 328p for open platform for IOT to program
easily and IOT devices also used to interface the embedded
system and application of users. Temperaturesensorusedto
measure the temperature level, smoke sensor is used find
smoke type of quantities. If cloud to communication the
devices.
II. PROPOSED SYSTEM
The proposed system is cloud based forest fire alert system
using IOT technology. In the advancing world, it is very
crucial to protect our environment. The fire cause serious
change and disturbance to wildlife and human life. In wild
animals are most affected and die also known for forest fire.
If forest trees also burned to affect atmosphere,
environment. This fire made naturally and man-made. So
thisprojectneedtopreventandpre-cautionsfromforestfire.
In order to achieve the best fire detection result with faster
time to detect the temperature variation. Whentemperature
sensor used to measure the temperature variation. Smoke
sensor is a devicethat dense smoke, typically as an indicator
of fire. Arduino at mega 328p used to control and monitor
the activities. Cloud is a storage purpose to usehim. Because
each and every second to monitoring the environment
condition data can be stored. IOT Device to interface with
Arduino and cloud.so finally fix the monitoring system done

in nearby forest office station. The detail about the system is
connected with a computer system monitored by theofficer.

III. HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION
A. TEMPRATURE SENSOR
Temperature sensor normally used to measure variation of
the temperature in particular area in range. In LM35 is basic
temperature sensor that can be used for experimental
purpose.
Fig 2. Temperature sensor
In this sensor output voltage value directly linear
propositional to the Degree Celsius (centigrade). The

If embedded system sends the monitoring data to server
access and maintained. In public cloud use the project to
server to provide the information via internet.
IV. CONCLUTION
Forest is a very important and growinmanyplacesinaround
world. In a forest is piece of land with many trees. Many
animals to live and survive the forest. Forest also used to
prevent soil erosion, climate changes. This paper, a cloud
based forest fire alert system using IOT technology.
Temperature is increased or smoke typically fire indicate to
LCD display. The real time sense a data will send and stored
cloud. Finally information of the different parameter to be
